Well I guess I should clear things up. I bought the car with a regular duratech that had a bad rod knock(spun bearing I am told), I put in a rebuilt SVT engine that was rebuilt incorrectly(thank you Canton auto) and this one that I know I drove hard, but I kept a full crankcase of Mobil 1 and changed it every 2,500. I have had freinds that have had problems with their duratechs also. I have gotten very efficent at taking the engine and trans out of contours, so swapping a turbo zetec to it should be no problem. Parts are way too expensive for the duratech. Just the gaskets for my rebuilds were $400.00, and that was with my employee discount. I know I run them hard, but in no means to I abuse them. As far as buying a whole other car, I really like mine. I have all options, rear disc, SVT body. Why start all over with a gl? I have all winter to do the swap.
